5:09pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Monday evening, October 10, 2022. Woke up this morning feeling anxious and grouchy. Air travel and issues at work didn’t make the situation any better. But I made it to the hotel, caught up on emails, bought dinner and just finished eating. Now I feel a little better and a little more relaxed.
Month: October 2022
So much will be different
3:16pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Dana Point, California, USA, Sunday afternoon, October 9, 2022. Left Chandler at 5am this morning and got to Dana Point just before 11:30am. The drive was alright but I have been sad realizing next month I will not come to Dana Point any more. That is going to be hard. So much will be different in the next couple of weeks.
Good day
4:17pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Saturday afternoon, October 8, 2022. Spent the day working on payroll, reading and going for a walk. Now I am watching football and getting ready to head to Orange County tomorrow morning. It has been a good day to re-energize and get ready for the next work week.
Work win
2:12pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Friday afternoon, October 7, 2022. It has been a busy day, even though I am working from home. We are trying to set up care for a complex patient. I need to be thorough and diplomatic to address multiple concerns. So far, things have gone smooth. I am excited. If we are able to pull this off it will expand our service capabilities and open up new referral sources to care for more patients in the future.
I won’t look back fondly
6:43pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Wednesday night, October 5, 2022. It is the two year anniversary of restarting my career in hospice operations. That position was not very good, and the company was garbage but, the job got me where I am today, so I am thankful. Often, when I look back, I realize painful things lead to happier moments. Which happens to be the case now. And while I appreciate the job I started two years ago, I won’t look back on it fondly any time soon.
Good day
5:56pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Tuesday evening, October 4, 2022. I had a good day. First, the big meeting between our nurses and the new pharmacy went smooth this morning. Then, I got a handle on a vexing overtime issue that was keeping me up at night. Finally, I am feeling physically better and getting my appetite back. All in all, it was a pretty good day.
Dublin, California, October 3
5:07pm, pacific standard time, hotel in Dublin, California, USA, Monday evening, October, 3, 2022. Woke up feeling well enough to go for a walk and do a light workout this morning. In fact, I got up so early I still had time to read the news and pack before morning meetings. I left the apartment at 9:30am and drove to the airport. After catching an afternoon flight to Oakland I got to the hotel at 3:30pm. I just finished responding to emails and phone calls. Dinner is on its way, then time for an early turn in.
I am feeling better
4:55pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Sunday afternoon, October 2, 2022. It was one more day of rest and football today. Thankfully, I am feeling better and have a direct flight to Oakland. I will sleep in tomorrow, do my morning meetings, then travel to California for a busy week.
Before Monday morning
4:48pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Saturday afternoon, October 1, 2022. Took some cold medicine to help me sleep last night. Then I went for a walk this morning after waking up. I was too exhausted to complete the entire circuit but, it felt good to get out and move around. After arriving home I watched football and read the entire day. I did, however, manage to take another walk this afternoon before eating an early dinner. Now my goal is to sleep as much as possible before Monday morning.
